Some years ago, I started snowboard with a kind of boots directly clip on the board. Today, I'm looking for similar fixations in sport shops and on the web, but when crawling website like Salomon/Sims/Nitro/Flow/Rossignol ones, I only found standard bindings.

Any idea of what I'm talking about (exact name), and places where I can found such equipment ?

Re: Fixation types

If you're talking 1995, then K2 Clicker or Switch.

It was like Switch. Thank for answer. K2 does not produce Clicker or similar bindings anymore, and Switch are not represented in brands. Are step-in bindings in the end of their life ...

You're referring to "clickers" or "step-in" bindings in general, I think? I've noted that these have become less popular in the last few years. I have Burton Driver boots with SI bindings, but Burton doesn't make high end boots for SI any more. They do have the Moto boots with SI: http://www.burton.com/gear/products.asp?productID=63

Major advantage of step-in bindings is that you click in right when you get out of the chair lift and off you go. Or you take a short rest while the others in your group are strapping in. A disadvantage is that most SI systems attach the boot in the middle of the board. This means that the connection between your boots and the board, when you make a turn, is less stiff. You have to work slightly harder in sharp turns on icy trails. For this reason, my next pair of boots will probably be ordinary strap-ins.

Re: Fixation types

hardly you will find what are you looking for. first boots and bindings like that are go in pair because every firm has own way of fixaton. go on burton.com and search for moto.si model of boots and bindings. these kind of fixaton isn't good for some thrills on hill so buy some regular gear.

Re: Fixation types

Hachikoo, you realize Solomon, Sims, and Rossi had their own versions of step in bindings, and therefore didn't need to use switch technology. Ride bought Clicker tech. Before that, they bought Device tech. So somebody must make Switch tech step in bindings currently.
